    That seems very stupid given the response to her inclusion in the trailer.

    That was just meant to be a joke.

    What'll you use them for if she remains in the movie? A shame for all that prep work to go to waste.

    That's because J.J. kept changing the movie and the sequence where Spock describes the supernova up until the last minute. The alternative would have been to simply cancel Countdown like the Rogue One comic.

    I'm calling Alexander Freed or Paul Kemp for this although I would like to see James Luceno or the return of Matthew Stover.

    Def. interested in this. If only to see how crazy things get. Many more Bothans will die to get us early book spoilers.

    I feel like it's gonna be Zahn just because why be secret about the author unless they didn't write it yet, and it would tie in with Rebel S3

    Well, I guess we can check off this one's "every new canon thing must have someone speculate Zahn will write it" box.

    Ah, who am I kidding, someone probably predicted he'd write it on the first page.

    Where did this come from? and it makes sense considering he did Tarkin.

    Really shows the size of the Death Star versus the Star Destroyers (which aren't that small to begin with). If the Death Star I dwarfs the Star Destroyers that much, then just imagine the size of the Death Star II.

    Good to see Luceno back. Maybe Catalyst is about the political state of the galaxy leading up to Rogue One?

    Awesome. I'm now very happy I gambled on a £12.55 blind pre-buy a couple of months back.

    And that cover.... It's those Star Destroyers that make it so effective for me.

    That really puts thins in perspective and why the Empire wasn't worried about a fleet, let alone fighters, attacking the Death Star.

    Did I read this right, Luceno is going to write the Rogue One novel?!
    Is this a dream?

    This is the first time Luceno has been given the helm of a movie novelization. I'm so hyped!

    I thought it was a prequel novel, not the novelization itself? I'm just glad it hasn't been cancelled! I haven't read Tarkin yet (saving that for my flight to europe in september!) but the preview seemed engaging enough. I'll probably have a better idea if I want a pre-order after that.

    That cover is GORGEOUS though. My favorite English language one of the new canon.
